The White House announced weeks ago it would not release Obamacare enrollment data until November. On Saturday, though, it gave application data to the AP – but the information doesn't really make clear how many people will actually sign up for health plans.
I've started two separate applications on HealthCare.gov and a handful on other state marketplaces. I account for about a half-dozen of those 476,000 applications. Other reporters are no doubt doing the same, as are curious shoppers across the country. Applications started might be a good measure for curiosity, but not necessarily coverage.
Most health insurance plans don't count shoppers as enrolled until they've actually submitted a check for their first month's premium. Some of these applications will not convert into enrollments, if shoppers decide they don't want to actually pay for the product.

More happy talk from the Obango regime.
Thanks for posting all the train wreck articles.
Rest assured that you are annoying the heck out of Obama worshipers by incessantly calling attention to the failures and lies.
Thanks. We need more truth from the Obama sycophant Media. Occasionally they tell the truth. It needs to be ‘all the time’.
Yeah, keep up the good work :)
There is simply no way in hell I would trust those sites with my personal information.
Dear WaPo,
You don’t know shi...er...Obama-emissions.
You are quite welcome.
The train wreck has yet to happen.
Remember, you have to answer an extensive questionnaire that includes you banking information, bank router and back account numbers, before you can preview any of the plans. Also, the web pages tell you flat out that they aren’t that secure and any information that you voluntarily provide will be shared with other Federal Agencies for whatever use they decide to make now and in the future.
Think about that folks - whomever and whatever they want to do with your banking information.
476,000 applied, how many will enroll after seeing the price tag?
Train wreck December when choice is pay ObamaCare or buy Christmas presents And make car payment.
As the saying goes, “the truth has a certain ring to it”...
Indeed.
In Washington, Costco sells Obamacare on Costco's own website. I don't have to go to the Obamacare website and create an account. Still haven't done it, though.
Once Obama&Co knew he was elected they could sell anything to the chimps and they did.
How many are registered dead voters? How many will be by the time they finally finish online registration for BarryCare?
They’re calling a hit on the web site an application. If one can’t get on and continues to try they count every attempt as a separate application....they’re rigging these numbers big time. The only ones actually enrolling are the ones who are going to get free insurance or the few whose rates will actually decline. The yutes aren’t buying into it and without the yutes the thing goes down!!!
lol
since most people trying to apply have tried dozens of times unsuccessfully, you probably need to divide by 10 to get the actual number of people applying
He says that the folks at the HHS know this and are panicking. O'care won't work with those kind of ratios.
According to the chart in the article, about 150,000 have actually enrolled.
